Look 9 in real life

Worn by: Sarah, senior associate editor at BeautyRiot.com

Her thoughts: While I’m no stranger to bright makeup, this was definitely out of my comfort zone. It wasn’t the colors so much, since I’ve worn them all before, but rather where they were. I’ve never worn liner only in the corners of my eyes or shadow on my temples — and I’m not too sure I would again.

The hair was pretty easy.

1. I applied mousse and blow dried my hair upside down to get some volume.

2. Then I brushed it up into a ponytail on the top of my head and wrapped the ends around and pinned them. It was a little less full than the model’s bun, but I didn’t have any extensions so I had to make due with the hair on my head.

My husband called this look costumey and said I looked a bit like this Star Trek character — ouch, but he’s not too far off. In the future I would wear these shades again, but not on my temples or in the corners of my eyes, it’s just too odd.
